I’ve been a fan of Zoraida Córdova’s YA novels since the beginning, so I’m always on the lookout for her newest titles. But what an extra treat to find that she has also dipped her writerly toes in the...

The final installment in Herrera's astonishing narco borderland trilogy to be translated into English by the incomparable Lisa Dillman is an allegorical crime novel that treats a drug kingpin's territory like the realm of some fairytale. A timeless story of love trying to survive in a lawless land from one of Mexico's finest novelists.
KINGDOM CONS is our #BrazosBest for July 2017. Read our staff chat about it here.
Have you ever begun a book and immediately felt you were in the hands of a classic? That's what Magda Szabo's THE DOOR is like. THE DOOR has the simplest premise, but the moral complexity of a great tragedy. Magda, a successful author, decides to hire Emerence, a peasant housekeeper well known in the village. What follows is a psychological portrait of two very different women over a period of decades, replete with the passions and barbs inherent in complex friendships. Beautifully translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix, THE DOOR will leave you speechless with admiration.
Any road trip I've ever been on, I stare out my window for hours noticing the natural elements around me: trees, cactus, wildflowers blowing in the breeze. I zone everything out around me and focus on the huge natural world around us. That's what I love most about BRAIDING SWEETGRASS. It makes the reader notice nature and begin to ask questions about where we fit into the natural world and what that relationship can look like.
TRUFFLEPIG is pure, psychedelic, Tex-Mex mythos. Flores wrote the novel in a 3-month fever dream, hammered out on a mechanical typewriter in late 2014. Five years later, Flores' parallel universe contains insight on the border that feels eerily prophetic. Listen to the 9-song Spotify platlist that accompanies the novel! (Search for: The Trufflepig on Spotify).
Ruthless Gods is a brutal beast of a novel, devouring the reader whole with Duncan's trademark darkly glittering atmosphere. Delve further into the icy, gothic world of Wicked Saints and follow Nadya, Serefin, and Malachiasz deeper into a hell of their own making. Their world will become even more dangerous, filled with teeth sharpened on good intentions. Broken faith, love, and power seep off the page. It will stain your hands and it will stain your mind.

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people –– the beauty within themselves.
